Danny Schayes, Jake Tsakalidis, Joe Kleine, and Pat Burke. Embrace the history of the Suns having the worst Centers in the league year in and out up until the Shaq trade. Hasn't been great at that position since but at least we've kept NBA quality centers on the roster for the last 6-7 years.
That's interesting and a bit disappointing that Alvin Adams is the only player who was above average that played their entire career here. I think KJ is the closest since he didn't go anywhere else after he arrived. He started his rookie season in Cleveland but he finished it in Phoenix and spent the remainder of his career here. Very few players have retired with Phoenix when you look back though.
I was trying to think of other talent that were All Stars or borderline All Stars who came to Phoenix while they were productive and played out their career here and can't think of any that fit that bill either. From all of the big acquisitions though we haven't kept anyone up until they retire. All of the big signings in the 90's like Danny Manning, Tom Gugliotta, Tom Chambers, Barkley, AC Green, Ceballos, Waymon Tisdale, etc. Even more recently with the likes of Grant Hill, Shaq, or Nash, no one finishes their career here in Phoenix. Danny Ainge was the only player I could think of who retired here that was a borderline big name elsewhere.
